Oklahoma Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe said Tuesday that he’s taking a “very unpopular stand” by fighting for the right to keep sending pork back home.
Turns out it’s more popular than he thinks.
Inhofe's Senate colleagues show little appetite for the sort of earmark reforms the House is pushing, and some of them are aggressively making the case that it’s their constitutional right to direct federal spending to their pet projects, big and small.
Call them "the Proud Porkers".
